CLEARSTREAM5 HDtv Antenna


  • ClearStream 5 HDTV Antenna / High Band VHF HDTV Antenna – Channels 7-13. Used to compliment a UHF antenna set-up.
  • A UHF/VHF Combiner is included in the antenna box

Product Description
The C5 is targeted specifically for the high VHF band. (Ch7-13 ; 174 -216 MHz). The efficient, compact design offers excellent gain and impedance matching across the whole post 2009 VHF DTV spectrum. The ClearStream 5 is superior to existing combination antennas for receiving VHF DTV signals and offering good directivity with a peak gain of 8.4 dBi. This leap forward in efficient design allows up to 90% of the available broadcast signal to actually reach the inco… More >>

    This is my fourth HD antenna. Though this was the most expensive one by far, it out preforms all of the others. I was have trouble getting all the major stations 2,4,7,11 without realigning the antenna after changing the channel. This antenna was a one shot hook-up, and I’m getting over 90 channels in the first position I put it in. You get what you pay for.

    I am so proud that ClearStream5 is MIT. As a Taiwanese American living here in the United States for than 30 years, it has always been a joke that anything Made-In-Taiwan is cheap back in the 80’s; even early 90’s Toy Story use it as a joke that when Buzz Lightyear discover that he is Made-In-Taiwan, all hell breaks loose for his confidence. I purchased this CS5 antenna from Amazon here based on stellar reviews of many very satisfied customers, I put it to the test myself today. I must admit I do not live in the boondocks like some of the reviewers here (95+miles from antenna) but my area is surrounded by 5-story tall trees and 2-3 stories homes with insanely huge mushroom shaped attics in the neighborhood. I pre-owned an old RadioShack rabbit ear UHF/VHF amplifier — picks up most DTV UHF fine, albeit not perfect. Here in Anaheim-OrangeCounty/LA, ABC and Fox carries interesting contents, but they migrated over to VHF band after the DTV transition. So I really need a serious boost for the NBA playoff and The Finals — I really resent cable companies due to their highly compressed & lobotomized HD video quality — to maximize their dollar per bandwidth. I will pay them nothing as far as I’m concerned, only internet. When I received the CS5 Antenna, I was skeptical at the raw box it arrives in, feels flimsy and light, shaking it. After intuitively constructing it within 10 minutes (manual is crap, construction quality is great though), fired it up, it blew me away at almost perfect reception on every channel — both UHF/VHF! THEN and only then I pick up the box to see where it was made and designed in — Taiwan! What a shocker!! Alright, please don’t tell my family that I reacted this way, thank you.

    Great antenna for High Band VHF digital tv stations. It is pulling in stations from over 50+ miles away. Perfect picture. Also in the evening it is pulling stations from over 100 miles away. These stations are not perfect like the regular stations, but 100 miles with out a tower that is great. Eve mount with 8 ft pole. Combine this with a quality UHF antenna and you have a perfect free tv solution.

    This antenna is much bigger than those designed for UHF. However, i needed to get a VHF channel about 45 miles away and this antenna made it happen. I have this antenna coupled with the C2 and get every broadcast channel in the area with no blackouts or sputtering.

    I am in central San Diego and it gets all of the HDTV stations, both UHF and VHF, and also some Mexican stations. It is in my attic and it has coax cable with a few couplers to take it two floors down to my TV. There it has a splitter for my two tuner cards.

    Reception is flawless except for a couple UHF stations in rainy weather (rare in San Diego) that drop out occasionally. I tried the UHF/VHF combiner it came with on a few UHF antennas and reception was always worse with two antennas, even with a signal amplifier.

    This VHF antenna picks up UHF better than the UHF antennas I have tried, and it is the only antenna that has picked up all the VHF stations.
